Holding the knife, Lu Sheng quickly followed up to check. I saw a little puppet lying quietly on the ground, it was the one hanging on the beam before.
He reached out to pick up the puppet, and saw that there was a deep cut on its surface, and blood was oozing out.
"This is the root cause?" Lu Sheng looked around, but found nothing else.
With a creak, Xu Chui hurriedly chased after him, holding a long sword in his hand.
"My lord?" he asked in a low voice.
Lu Sheng got up and pinched the puppet in his hand, feeling a trace of yin energy permeating it. He walked to the broken and fallen mirror stand, stepped on the messy glass shards, and looked down at the copper mirror stand.
Gently lifting the mirror stand, he noticed that the dog on the three animal patterns behind the copper stand had disappeared.
"Three kinds of animals, do they mean that there are three kinds of ghosts?"
"My lord, something is wrong." Xu Chui, who was beside him, had a dignified expression, constantly checking left and right vigilantly.
"With such a loud noise, no one in this Shengmingfang was alarmed. Normally, many people should get up to see what happened. But now there is no movement outside!"
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, turned around suddenly, and rushed out of the room in a few steps.
call... .
A breeze blew by.
The outside is not a courtyard, but a large empty straw field.
Bunches of bundled straw stalks are piled up on the dry harvested straw field. There are still traces of fire in some places.
The moonlight was cold, and the undulating mountains appeared in the distance.
"This is..." Lu Sheng turned his head, the study room he walked out of had disappeared, and Xu Chui was nowhere to be seen, obviously he was the only one who entered here.
"Count to ten."
"No peeking!"
"Run! Hahaha."
Lu Sheng heard a child's voice, he looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a few black shadows trotting away towards the distance.
"That silly girl, really believes that we can play with her."
"I heard that her mother is the kind of seller on the boat. It's disgusting."
"Yes, yes, whoever wants to play with that kind of person's child will be looked down upon if they tell it."
"But we left her here alone, isn't it a bit bad?"
"Her mother will come to her, so why worry about it."
"Too."
Lu Sheng watched those black shadows quickly and slowly disappear into the night, disappearing without a trace. There was a faint guess in my heart.
He turned his head and looked at the piles of straw again.
"one."
"two."
"three."
A faint, fuzzy sound echoed from the field.
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, pulled the other knife off his back with his backhand, and held it in his hand. He strode towards the direction where the voice came from.
The field is full of dry soil and ears of wheat, and it feels like thick grass when you step on it.
Lu Sheng crossed several straw piles, and soon came to the largest straw pile.
A little girl in light blue, with her back to him, was lying motionless on the haystack and counting.
"Four."
"five."
"six."
The little girl has two very rough braids hanging down, covering her face with her hands, as if she is playing a game with someone.
Holding the knife, Lu Sheng stopped a few meters away from her.
"seven."
"eight."
"Nine."
"ten."
Count to ten.
Lu Sheng's muscles tensed slightly, ready to exert strength at any time.
"I'm going to start looking. Are you ready?"
At this moment, the little girl suddenly spoke.
Her voice was very distant and calm, with a hint of eerie and weirdness in it.
Lu Sheng didn't reply. It was obvious that the little girl was talking to other children, but he felt that the other party seemed to be talking to him.
"What is this place?" Lu Sheng asked in a low voice.
The little girl turned her back to him, without any response, just stood there.
"Or, do you think you won me?" Lu Sheng shook the two machetes in his hand. He was probing, probing what kind of ghost the other party belonged to.
"I'm going to start looking?" Suddenly the little girl said calmly.
"Start?" Lu Sheng looked around at the piles of straw, and suddenly laughed.
Boom!
With one kick, he kicked over a pile of straw on the side.
"Come on. Hack me to death, or be hacked to death by me!" He was already a little impatient, and the two knives crossed in front of him with a clang, and the nine evil spirits all over his body suddenly activated, and the surrounding body guards were filled with blood. The transparent and invisible inner qi can be seen, so now his whole body is burning violently like a humanoid torch.
The little girl turned around slowly, covering her face with her hands, she couldn't see her face, only her blue-blue skin. Stiff and pale.
call!
In an instant, she disappeared in place.
Lu Sheng raised his two sabers abruptly, and slashed at the side.
clang! ! !
Amidst the deafening crash, a petite figure was violently thrown out, and then disappeared again in mid-air.
When she reappeared, she was already behind Lu Sheng, and a blue palm grabbed Lu Sheng hard.
Chi!
As if grasping on steel, a stream of pale yellow sparks splashed from Lu Sheng's neck.
With a low growl, he slammed backwards. The whole body's internal energy supported the blood net, and it was entangled back suddenly. With a flip of the two knives in his hands, he slashed back and forth in a row.
Puff! Two muffled beeps in a row,
The blade fell on the straw next to it, and it missed.
Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi! !
In the field, in an instant, yellow sparks continuously exploded from Lu Sheng's body, and a faint blue figure flashed beside Lu Sheng at high speed, and the poisonous claws crazily grabbed at him.
Lu Sheng slashed twice and couldn't catch up, so he simply didn't bother to move, closed his eyes and raised his upper body for her to catch.
A large number of sparks continued to permeate him, if it were an ordinary person, he would have been caught into minced meat long ago. For him, it was just like a massage.
After a full count of breaths, Lu Sheng stood where he was, only covering his ears and eyes occasionally. Let the body splash a lot of sparks.
Suddenly, his eyes opened, and his whole body bumped forward.
Boom! !
A light blue figure happened to grab his forehead, he hit him on the head and flew out backwards. Before he could fly away, he was pulled back by Lu Sheng's arm, and hit his forehead hard.
puff!
The little girl was knocked unconscious. She was held in Lu Sheng's arms and hit her head several times in a row.
puff! puff! Puff puff puff! !
Lu Sheng kept hitting the little girl's forehead with his head. With just a few hits, the little girl's head was smashed, a mess of blood mixed with dirt, and the neck membrane fell off her neck. There was only one headless corpse left, which was held by Lu Sheng and raised high.
The huge machete aimed at the middle of the corpse and was about to cut it down.
Boom!
Lu Sheng didn't expect that the corpse's legs suddenly kicked onto his chest, and jumped off his hands with a hiss.
He was originally holding the little girl's waist, but now there was only a piece of flesh left in his hand, and a large piece of flesh was missing from the side of the other's waist, which was the part he was still holding.
"Oh?" Lu Sheng was a little surprised, watching the headless corpse stumbling and running towards the distance.
Pooh!
He threw the knife like lightning.
The machete flew out, hit the corpse's legs, and cut them off at the root. The scalding internal energy carried by the blade immediately caused the corpse to roll on the ground in pain.
"Is this the end?" Lu Sheng looked at the other party bored. "If I'm not mistaken, this should represent a fox."
After the headless corpse struggled for a while, it quickly faded away and disappeared.
The straw field was once again quiet.
"Then, there is the last phoenix, and you are the three animals." Lu Sheng looked around and walked slowly towards the place where the corpse disappeared.
Lying quietly on the ground was a piece of light blue broken clothes. He picked it up, felt the Yin Qi above it, and put it in his trouser pocket.
Suddenly he felt a faint numbness in his vest, as if a needle had been stuck on it.
"who!"
Lu Sheng turned around abruptly.
In the distance behind him, a young woman with unkempt hair and dirty body was standing in the field and looking at him quietly.
The woman was dressed in a mess, as if she had put on a pair of clothes from different seasons, but her chest and lower body were pulled apart, her thighs were exposed in vain, and there was still dried blood on the inside of her thighs.
"Her mother is crazy!"
"Crazy! Crazy bitch!!"
"How did this lunatic survive? She didn't eat, and she brought a child, and I don't know whose seed it was."
"How else can I live? Not with the help of the men in the village, I lined up every day to go..."
"Shh... quieter."
"When the village chief picked her up, that's what she was pictured. There's nothing to hide."
"Kill her! Kill this crazy woman!"
"Throw her into a pigsty! How dare you seduce my man!!"
A noisy and chaotic voice, shouts and cursing, kept echoing in Lu Sheng's ears.
"That child, I'm afraid she doesn't know that her mother is dead, right? Every day when I go back, I can hear her call my mother crisply. It's weird."
"Crazy every day, just like her mother, I heard that someone saw the man from the Chen family go to that house again last night..."
"Seduce a man at such a young age, what a bitch!"
"Maybe it's because of the help of the men in the village that I can grow so big."
Lu Sheng listened, and looked at the crazy woman standing not far from him, his eyes narrowed again.
"Are you resentful?"
A deep voice came from beside his ear.
"Your mother actually died two years ago, but even though she is crazy, she still hates you and still takes care of you every day."
"Who made you like this?"
"Who killed your mother?"
"Who abandoned you in the deserted rice field?"
The voice asked again and again in a low voice.
"I... I just want someone to play with me..." A timid, soft and weak girl's voice sounded slowly.
"Go in.... After entering this mirror, there will always be someone to play with you." There was a hint of temptation in the low voice.
boom! ! !
In an instant, a mass of red light exploded, and Lu Sheng's surrounding area of more than ten meters was completely turned into a sea of flames. A large number of straw piles were ignited, the flames crackled and burned, thick smoke billowed, and ashes flew around.
